So On

Chapter 9 - Yay Timing

       "A gentleman is just a patient wolf."

     A patient wolf? That weird potato? Him? A patient wolf my ass.

     A day passed since my bloody situation, but I still couldn't get what he said out of my head. What did he mean? Was he implying something?

     Or was he just stating a quote from some site? Because I swear I read that in 9gag before.

     Recalling what happened yesterday after he delivered that sentence, I sighed. We skipped the afternoon classes yesterday because mom came and after that we were too lazy to attend anymore, so Brandon just went back to their apartment as I slept.

     Wait. Maybe I was just over-thinking again because I was on my period?

     I smiled to myself. That explained everything perfectly. I wonder why I feel so relieved all of a sudden.

     Leo and Nichole were finally back, but we barely had time to see each other because of our classes, much less talk. But somehow, Brandon still managed to find me. Where the hell did he get my schedule? He seemed to know where I was at all times.

       "Stalker," I mumbled as he made his way towards me, wearing that usual wide grin on his face. He heard me loud and clear, as well as a few students because they began staring. What.

       "Now," he said, teasingly. "Is that what you should be saying to your human-cover-for-blood-stains?"

     I threw him a dirty look but shrugged it off immediately. He didn't sound this confident yesterday. And I was indebted to him. Damn it.

       "I'll claim my reward," he put both his hands on my shoulders, stopping me from walking away. I was expecting he'd ask for something dumb but he instead, he claimed his reward himself.

     He kissed the corner of my mouth, brushing my lower lip just a little bit. If my sharp intake of breath didn't distract me, I would've slapped him upside the head already. "Thank you."

       "Hey!" I complained, still looking at him in complete bewilderment. I hope my cheeks didn't betray me now. Shit why do I feel faint. "You - "

       "Not so loud now. People are watching." A victorious grin crossed his face. I looked around and saw that it was true. I scoffed. People were so nosy.

     I looked back at him, my stare intensifying. I hate this. Now he's got the upper hand. I hate this so much.

     But I somehow liked the feeling of it, that kiss - no. Stop thinking. Yeah, you're over-thinking again because you're on your period.

     Dramatic sigh.

     Why do I always try to convince myself inside my head.

     It's just... Sad.

       "Let's go out again. Let's date," I told him. This can't continue. I have to turn the tables. He sent me a questioning look, probably wondering why I was the first to invite him this time. He agreed quickly yet unsurely.

       "Your detention's over now right?"

       "Right," I replied. I didn't attend yesterday but whatever. The teacher in-charge didn't seem to care as well.

     Brandon's lip curled up into a smirk. Oh he was into this as well. He probably knew what I was thinking. Good.

       "We'll meet in my car after class," he said before I headed off to my next class, which he probably knew where and until when. He nodded and sent me away with a quiet smile.
